Are you even listening to me Chapter 20

Chapter 20 

Nick’s other relatives and friends also came to help at Peach Garden 

Nick handed out gloves to each of them and said, “Thanks for helping with the fruit picking” 

“No problem.” The four of them put on the gloves and straw hats, and began picking fruits with the experienced villagers. 

At first, the other three were quite enthusiastic, but after a while, they started to feel some soreness in their hands and necks and felt uncomfortable 

looking up 

The sun gradually became scorching, burning on their skin 

Demi couldn’t help but exclaim, It’s a good thing Lucy had the foresight to prepare the strow hats in advance, or we’d probably get sunburned.” 

Mel and Parker agreed. 

They were all celebrities, and their faces were important 

So, Lucy was both considerate and foresighted, which was very thoughtful. 

As they chatted and picked fruits, although tired, they felt encouraged by Lucy’s bright smile and lively movements and kept going 

After a while, Nick brought over some newly bought bottled water and handed it to them. 

Lucy looked up and smiled, “Thank you.” 

As she saw Nick, her expression slightly tightened 

At this moment, Nick’s forehead appeared a bit dark, and the area around his children’s fortune was becoming increasingly dark and greenish. 

She frowned and asked, “Where is your son?” 

Nick smiled and said. “That kid is quite wild, he went out early this morning.” 

Nick’s son was only seven years old, too young to be of much help, so Nick didn’t bring him to Peach Garden. 

Seven years old is also the most mischievous age, running around the village with little supervision from adults. 

Lucy’s frown deepened, “Hurry up and find him. From what I see, your son might be in danger.” 

Nick was stunned, “He. What danger could he be in?” 

“From the look, it seems he might drown,” Lucy said, staring at the increasingly dark area around Nick’s children’s fortune. She began to calculate quickly and then decisively ran toward the orchard’s exit. “Hurry! We might run out of time!” 

Her actions startled everyone 

Parker immediately put down the basket and ran after her, “Let’s go check it out!” 

Mel and Demi exchanged glances, knowing that Lucy wasn’t the type to speak without reason, and quickly followed. 

As they ran, the photographer grabbed his equipment and followed as well. 

Nick, initially confused and unsure whether to believe this, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of panic. 

He gritted his teeth and also hurriedly followed 

Seeing this, the others also put down their things and followed suit. 

The live stream was filled with confusion. 

is what Lucy said true? Can she really read faces?] 

Even if she can, she doesn’t know where Nick’s son is Running out like this, will she be able to find him?| 

Is she just trying to show off and steal the spotlight? After being quiet for two days, is inally showing her true colors?| 

(if it’s just for show, it’s a bit too much–cursing someone’s child like that 

(I’ll wait and see. If it turns out to be fake. I’ll unfollow] 

Almost everyone was glued to the screen, looking anxious 

Many viewers from other live streams also came over, attracting a lot of passersby to join the watch 

Ashley’s fans and Cober’s fans clashed in a heated argument, with waves of sarcasm and criticism flying back and forth 

Other fans got annoyed and started counter attacking, leading to small–scale fights. 

Outside Peach Gardens, Lucy calculated the direction based on the energy from Nick and pinpointed the location of his son 

She ran in that direction and, about ten minutes later, arrived at a reservoir. 

This reservoir was built by the village for irrigation, as Lucy had heard from the village secretary 

Upon reaching the reservoir, she saw two boys playing in the water in the center, completely unaware of the approaching danger. 

Lucy could see from a distance that their foreheads were darkening, a sign of imminent danger. 

She quickly took off her hat, gloves, and shoes and swam toward the two boys. 

Those who followed her were stunned by the scene. 

The live stream audience also found it bewildering 

Isnt Nick’s son fine? Although swimming in a reservoir is unsafe, they clearly know how to swim] 

[Why is Lucy jumping into the water to save them if she knows they’re fine?] 

Looks like this is a lost cause, quite funny] 

[As expected, she’s just trying to create a spectacle, desperate for fame, but it’s all backfired on her, hasn’t it? 

Nick rushed over and, seeing his son sale, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Spotting Lucy swimming over, he quickly shouted, “You brat! Get out of the 

water 

Nick’s son turned his head and refused, “No, I haven’t had enough fun yet!” 

Saying this, he swam even further into the deeper water. 

His cousin followed closely behind 

It’s fine, there’s no real danger over there. Just talk to the kids properly,” someone nearby advised, 

“Yeah, and that actress is just causing trouble. She should get out too.” 

Before the words could fully leave their mouth, another splash was heard from the side 

Parker, already barefoot, had entered the water and was swimming toward Lucy. 

He trusted her 

So, if she said there was danger and continued swimming, then there must be danger. 

He had to h 

help 

The crowd was even more confused 

The live stream’s chat was filled with questions. 

[What is Parker doing? Why did he jump in too?] 

[Just get the kids to swim back. If the adults enter the water, the kids will swim further, which makes it even more dangerous ] 

[Aren’t they going to mess things up with their good intentions?] 

purpose, and now Parker’s caught up in it tool 

[it’s all Lucy’s fault. She’s so desperate for fame that she’s acting out on purp 

[Lucy’s nothing but bad luck! 

Just as the crowd was criticizing and confused, something unexpected happened. 

The reservoir water surged violently, rushing forward. Several towering waves immediately swept the two children into the water. 

“Ah!” Demi screamed in shock, “They’ve been swept away!” 

“It’s over! The reservoir gate’s been opened!” a villager shouted 

Every time the village releases water for irrigation, this is the scene. The reservoir is built on a mountain, with over a dozen meters of height from the downstream irrigation area, and when the gates are opened, the water rushes down fiercely. 

So, every time before the gates are opened, they ensure that everyone in the reservoir area is cleared out to prevent accidents. 

No one knew why the gate had opened suddenly this time, and the two boys, unaware, had been swept away. 

Nick’s face turned pale, and his legs nearly gave out from fear as he stumbled forward. “My son… my son!” 

Tick, calm downl Jumping in now will only cost you your own life!” a villager hurriedly pulled him back, “Besides, those two have already reached the children. They’ll save them!” 

Nick’s face was ashen as he deeply regretted not list 

Inot listening to the actress and jumping in earlier to save his son. 

Now, it was too late to jump in, and he could only rely on those two celebrities to save his child! 

Only now did the crowd realize that Lucy had truly predicted the danger to the children, Even though they seemed sale at the time, she had unhesitatingly 

entered the water. 

Everyone was left speechless, shocked by what had just happened.
